@dublinairport.bsky.social allegedly the new and amazing 51st & green lounge reopens March 31st. Do you need a volunteer departing passenger to beta-test it for you on March 29th? Here to serve!

I need to (a) get my studio fixed and get writing again, and (b) get surfing. Paying attention to the news right now seems as important as it is unpleasant, so need to figure out activities that let me keep one eye on reality and still unplug

I don't even know what to do with the news any longer. It's increasingly hard to want to turn on the TV or go to a news site.

I am hoping this all means that Scotland will roll them up like a cheap rug in Boston in June!

Thanks once more to @cociobh.bsky.social for playing ‘Notes From A Decaying Orbit’ on An Taobh Tuathail. One of the best, and deservedly long-running, shows on Irish radio. Quality.

When I'm Feeling Blue, I Can Always Go To My Undisclosed Location Life can be pretty overwhelming sometimes. The daily stresses of family, friends, and being vice-president of the world’s most powerful nation can get your head all twisted up. At those moments, you n...

Hello I am Mark Zuckerberg, genius. We have invested $600 billion into this technology that lets a camera recognize that you are holding soy sauce and then searches the internet for recipes with soy sauce. It works 11% of the time and retails for $1,500.00

🤣 - ALSO - “You must wear these things around so our flaming shitshow of a personality scoping platform that partnered with Cambridge fucking Analytica ffs can know what you are LOOKING at every second” is not the sales pitch you think it is. And the fuckability thing too.

September dusk in London town.

Not sure how to feel about it - talking about flag displays on the TV news this morning. What the hell is going on?

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says his company has cut 4,000 customer service jobs as AI steps in: ‘I need less heads’ Billionaire tech boss Marc Benioff isn’t the only one replacing customer service and sales roles with AI—Klarna and Microsoft have also slashed the departments.

1 - People buy from people
2 - You’re deliberately strangling your own talent pipeline at source
3 - Finding ways to pay less humans reduces velocity of money in to the economy, evaporating the demand on which capitalism exists.

Apart from that, sounds promising.

4 days later, @virginmediatv.bsky.social still don’t have a booking for us that their outsourcer promised us last week. After our electrician had to do work the outsourcer said wasn’t possible. Shocking, hopeless company

I’m very sure margins have been improved. Sick cover is less problematic. Wastage and stock predictability are through the roof. But everything that made it a good experience has been eliminated. There is no crock of gold at the end of the efficiency rainbow. There isn’t a crock of anything. (3/3)

A system of infinitely superior efficiency, far less chaos. It’s predictable, reliable, repeatable. Seems a LOT less humans are involved, which was presumably the point. What’s missing? The humans, and frankly, the chaos. What makes any Irish experience truly Irish - the people, the buzz. (2/3)

Breakfast at Dublin Airport. “The Mezz” street food. The old system (queue with a tray, people serve you hot food, queue to pay with a person) has been eliminated. In it’s place, pay (machine) and then wait for the constantly busy pass staff to ding your number on to the pass. (1/3)

The subject line drives me absolutely berserk. And you can’t customise the UI nearly as much as I would like either. But the search inefficiently and difficulty in navigating threaded conversations (which may be down to UI rigidity) is very challenging.

I have a strange relationship with Proton. I use it exclusively apart from a burner gmail account. I love the fact that @proton.me is privacy first and allegedly inside a mountain in Switzerland (I may have made that up). But the inability of the search to find things that aren’t explicit in (1/2)

The complete incompetence of @virginmediaireland.bsky.social reinstalling a connection is mind blowing. Racking up mobile charges because their outsourcera can’t install a cable. Looking for alternatives!
